Virtually Christian How Christ Changes Human Meaning and Makes Creation New by Anthony Bartlett
Using the seminal anthropology of Rene Girard and drawing out its radical implications Virtually Christian reconfigures the traditional framework of theology. Gone are the heavenly otherworld and its metaphysical God. In their place is revealed a God deeply implicated in the human story and laboring with us for a transformed earth. The identity and mission of Jesus become fully understandable against this background. The consequences for teaching and practice are enormous and especially relevant for emerging church Christians. This book provides a vital contemporary reading of both the gospel message and classical Christian thought.
Tony Bartlett brings a needed voice to an important conversation emerging across denominations and around the world(Brian McLaren, author speaker and activist) Tony Bartlett makes a stunning presentation of Christianity as the transformation of desire from violence to non violence from retribution to forgiveness from competition to compassion from acquisitiveness to giving. (John D. Caputo, philosopher/theologian, author)
Anthony Bartlett is a published author seminary professor speaker and presenter and for ten years leader of a vibrant Bible study community in his home town Syracuse New York.
